Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate June - 2015
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
This great terroir a few miles from Haut Brion and La Mission Haut Brion has produced one of the superstars of the vintage. A blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, Pape Clement’s 2005 has an opaque purple color and smoky barbecue and chocolaty notes intermixed with cassis and blackberries. There is also some underlying minerality in this full-bodied, super-concentrated wine, which has wonderfully sweet, well-integrated tannins. This majestic, multidimensional wines is one of the great, great wines of the vintage. It should drink well for at least another 25 years.

What most people miss with Pape Clement, is that the wine is so concentrated, intense and a bit oaky in its youth, it needs cellaring time to really reveal its all. Still youthful here, another 5-7 years are needed before everything really starts coming together. Still, it is impossible not to see and enjoy the intensity, purity, depth of flavor, length and richness. The tannins are ripe, the texture is akin to velvet and the smoky, dark berries in the finish resonate for ages. Opened in the name of science, I'm waiting another 5 years before popping another bottle.

Dark in color, offering wonderful aromas of licorice, berry, fresh tobacco and currant, with Indian spices. Complex and full-bodied, with supersilky tannins that caress every inch of the palate. Long and satisfying. A joy to taste this young wine.

Jean-Marc Quarin
Dark, intense color. Intense and above all original nose, fresh, fruity, smoky and deep. Mellow on the attack, smooth on the development, particularly fruity in the mid-palate, tasty and rich, the wine finishes long, complex, with slightly strong wood nuances on the finish, but it is very long and spicy. Rich and very complete wine for the vintage.

Deep dark ruby garnet, almost black core, purple highlights, nose of fine candied berries, delicate notes of coffee, sweet black fruits, ripe nuances. Very solid on the palate, elegant and mineral, core of firm tannins, fine nougat in the aftertaste, very well integrated, leaves a very good impression, promising aging potential, Vin de Garde.

Much more cassis and clear, plump, ripe berry fruit, with a touch of chocolate and more of that smoky, mineral and lightly spicy refinement. On the palate it is beautifully cool and composed, with searing acidity cutting through big, smooth tannins that give plenty of roughening grip. The structure is excellent, the fruit all there, and this shows huge promise.

Profound, very fragrant, very Bordeaux, dark fruit, stone, ethereal notes, dried herbs, barrique aromas. On the palate with lots of pressure, concentrated, but not overloaded, fine tannins, well-integrated acidity. Very long finish. Perhaps a bit Tuscan, but good quality.

<p>Lustrous blackish garnet. Some evolution at the rim. Light floral fragrance. Then opulent fruit on the front palate with the merest suggestion of brett. Lots of flattery and fun with the tannins well in retreat. Slightly hot and sudden on the end. Not top drawer but very satisfactory.<br /></p>

Château Château Pape Clement
Château Pape Clement

Château Pape Clément is one of the major historic estates of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, on the Left Bank of Bordeaux. Its history begins at the end of the 13th century, when Bertrand de Goth, future Pope Clement V, bequeathed his vineyard to the Archdiocese of Bordeaux. This direct link to the papacy gives the estate a unique heritage depth, making Château Pape Clément one of the oldest Bordeaux estates still in operation.

Classified as Grand Cru Classé de Graves in the official 1953 classification (revised in 1959), Château Pape Clément has established itself as an essential reference among the great wines of Pessac-Léognan, both in red and white. The vineyard, located at the gates of Bordeaux, sits on deep gravel soils mixed with clay and sand, favoring a refined and complex expression of Bordeaux grape varieties.

The grape varieties are primarily based on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot for the reds, complemented by Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, while the whites rely on Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Château Pape Clément's wines are distinguished by their aromatic intensity, silky texture and balance between power and elegance.

Recognized for their great aging potential, the estate's wines traverse decades with ease. Emblematic vintages such as Pape Clément 2005, Pape Clément 2001, Pape Clément 1998, Pape Clément 2000, Pape Clément blanc 2012, Pape Clément 2010 or Pape Clément 2003 illustrate the consistent quality and the unique position of Château Pape Clément among Bordeaux's great collectible wines.
